When a
system password is not assigned, the System Password
setting shown is Not
Enabled.
To assign a system password, follow these steps:
For instructions on changing this setting, see “Password Status” found earlier in
this chapter.
You can use up to seven characters in your password.
As you press each character key (or <Spacebar> for a blank space), a placeholder
appears in the field.
The password assignment operation recognizes keys by their location on the key-
board, without distinguishing between lowercase and uppercase characters. For
example, if you have an
M
in your password, the system recognizes either
M
or
m
as correct.
Certain key combinations are not valid. If you enter one of these combinations,
the speaker emits a beep.
To erase a character when entering your password, press <Backspace> or the
left-arrow key.
NOTE: To escape from the field without assigning a system password, press
<Esc>.
The system password is now assigned and is Enabled. You can exit the System
Setup program and begin using your system. Password protection takes effect
after the system reboots.
